Congratulations to the distinguished attorneys of van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin & Lindheim on being selected for the 2024 Super Lawyers (Michael T. van der Veen, Nelson Levin, and Bruce L. Castor, Jr.) and 2024 Rising Stars (Steven R. Bryson, Richard P. Coble, and Abigail B. Cohen)! This prestigious recognition is a testament to their exceptional skills, peer recognition, and professional achievement in the legal field.
The Super Lawyers selection process is highly rigorous and includes a patented multiphase evaluation involving peer nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations by practice area. Only the top 5% of attorneys in each state are selected for the Super Lawyers list, and no more than 2.5% are named to the Rising Stars list, making this an incredible honor for the firm’s attorneys. This accolade highlights the firm's dedication to excellence and reinforces their reputation as top-tier legal professionals.
We’d like to extend a special congratulations to Michael T. van der Veen for his remarkable achievement of being selected to Super Lawyers for 20 consecutive years! Additionally, he has been honored with a spot on the Top 100: Philadelphia Super Lawyers list for 2024.
van der Veen stands out as a rare attorney excelling in both civil litigation and criminal defense. Notably, he secured an acquittal for former President Donald Trump in the historic fourth presidential impeachment trial. His ability to handle high-profile, challenging cases sets him apart in the legal world.
